Chill & Prosper with Denise Duffield-Thomas

Every day I get asked about evergreen programs and courses.  Evergreen means always available. Green all year round! Money Bootcamp is evergreen – you can join any time.  Plus we also do a big annual launch and regular promotions, but we’ve moved from 3 launches a year to sell more evergreen.  Maybe you want to switch from launches to having a program that's open all year round.  Maybe you want both.  I’m here to answer ALL your questions!

Today, I’m sharing about my ADHD diagnosis and how it’s become my superpower - especially in my business.  Even if you don't have ADHD, listen in because this episode will give you some insights about the challenges other people in your life face. Listening to this might even sound familiar - ADHD is very common in entrepreneurs and widely under-diagnosed in women. 

I love batch creating content – it has changed my life.  And I just get better and better at it. Friends call me the batching queen. I batch EVERYTHING - my social media content, my podcast, video content, admin tasks in my business.  I wish I could find a way to batch some of my kid related stuff!  This one simple mindset shift makes things easier and more profitable. So many people resist batching. It might seem boring. Or hard work. Or lacking creativity. But it works for every type of personality and every type of business. And it won’t limit your creativity. You can be lazy and disorganized and still do it. I have ADHD. I still batch.  Because it’s so profitable for me to be consistent in my business. Consistency has made me millions of dollars. I’ve not made money because I am sexy or funny (although I am both those things!). I'm the smartest or most creative but I am really freaking consistent.  I'm so consistent that people think of me when they see the color blue. When they see bees, Kombi vans or roses! Because I batch like a mofo.                Recently, I created 150 days worth of content for my rose farm social media accounts in one day - for Instagram, Facebook and Pinterest – yeah, 450 pieces of content!  Listen in to the latest episode to find out exactly how I do it!

Time to pull on your boss pants! Today, we are talking about dealing with default customer payments. How to chase up your money without all the emotions. 

I’ve got some sticky stuff for you today! We are talking about how to cope with criticism and business rejection. Yuck, right?! But we all have to deal with this. Whether you’re starting out or an established entrepreneur.

So you’re reading books about money mindset, you're listening to my podcast and you’ve probably invested in conferences or courses to change your mindset.    And then someone you love poops on your parade.   A question I get ALL THE TIME is “How can I get my partner onboard with my money goals?”   You might live with someone who's very negative or fearful about money, personal development, entrepreneurship. That can be really tough and my heart goes out to you.     Or your partner might just be a bit sceptical.    Here’s how to grow and make money even when you have that in your life.

There are so many money mindset layers around saving money. It might feel uncomfortable. And that’s great. You absolutely need this! In today’s Chill and Prosper podcast episode we are talking about something super juicy - setting a savings goal and getting good at saving money.

Perfectionism has been a cross for me to bear for a long, long time. I'm a Virgo!  But I see it all the time in entrepreneurs. So let’s talk about what it's costing you to be a perfectionist in your business. Today’s episode of Chill and Prosper will inspire you to get started on projects that you're procrastinating.

I'm stoked about today’s podcast episode - It's silly but has some great lessons too!  I’m sharing money lessons from New Kids on the Block. Check out Step by Step by NKOTB on YouTube. It’s that song that’s always playing in Target!  Step one is that making money can be fun. Sometimes we get so serious about launches and doing the work that we forget that we're allowed to make money and have fun. I have definitely been guilty of overworking and getting too serious. I've changed this recently. I’m playing with my marketing more. I’m making reels and silly videos. Where do you need to have a little bit more fun in your business?  The last step is that the time has arrived. Everything is possible in your business – just take it step by step. Do it now. Don’t wait for the stars to align. The next full moon. It's your time and you're ready for the next step.

Today I’m busting four myths about spending money on personal development. I see backlash sometimes about people buying courses. I see resistance, underspending, people holding themselves back from learning things and giving themselves what they really need because of money mindset issues.  I’ve loved reading ever since I was tiny. I found this little red book once, called The Magic of Believing by Claude M Bristol. I was so fascinated - it was about how you could change your life by changing your thoughts. That book opened the personal development doors for me! So I see a lot of problems with feeling like you have to complete a book or a course. It’s ok to join a course for one element. Sometimes you work with a mentor for one little tweak. You don't have to finish everything before you go onto the next thing. Once I paid $7,000 to go to a VIP day and got one aha, which led to me making a million dollars. It’s fine to work with multiple coaches or masterminds; you can get different things from different people. I'm in masterminds just to get techy, ones to help me learn about fairness, and equality, and also business and marketing groups. Look at what you need to learn, what's holding you back from making money, what skills do you need, what mindset work you need to do, what would help you to actually make money? Money mindset is a massive one; it’s the most intangible thing, but it will stop you from making money. You might be wasting time and effort trying to do things yourself, trying to push through. Let’s bust through these myths and help you get to the next level of success and wealth.
